Field emission electron sources in vacuum electronics are largely considered to achieve
faster response, higher efficiency and lower energy consumption in comparison with …

We studied various gas molecules (NO 2, O 2, NH 3, N 2, CO 2, CH 4, H 2 O, H 2, Ar) on
single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWNTs) and bundles using first principles methods. The …

The experimentally verified electrical properties of carbon nanotube structures and
manifestations in related phenomena such as thermoelectricity, superconductivity …

The successive discoveries of fullerenes1 and carbon nanotubes2 (CNTs) around 1990
triggered a hot wave of scientific research to explore the properties and applications of these …

We apply density-functional theory to study the adsorption of water clusters on the surface of
a graphene sheet and find i) graphene is highly hydrophobic and ii) adsorbed water has …

First Self-Contained Source Entirely Dedicated to Nanocarbons Carbon nanotubes (CNTs)
attract a good deal of attention for their electronic, mechanical, optical, and chemical …

Carbon nanotubes (CNT) have recently emerged as a promising class of electron field
emitters. They have a low threshold electric field for emission and a high emission current …

The work functions (WF's) of single-walled carbon nanotubes and bundles are studied using
first-principles methods. For individual metallic tubes, the WF is independent of the chirality …

The filling, structure, and transport properties of water confined in one-dimensional
nanochannels are of great interest in physics, biology, and materials science.[1] An ideal …
